How to check battery health, can anyone help me out?

You cannot. It’s only something service team can do. And AFAIK, they won’t do it without any reason or just if you want to know your battery health

You can approximate it by using your ride stats and battery percentage drop.

Does more use of fast charging degrades the battery 
or daily use of fast charge

you can fast charge once in a few days. daily use of fast charge would degrade it faster

Ya bro can you explain in detail how it will degrade the battery I think as chemical reactions are faster when fast charging but if you can provide full detail it will be helpful and i prefer 20-80 method everytime and do slow charge from portable charger and use fast charger in urgency only or in extreme need…

We should do a complete drain of battery like remaining 1-2 percent once in a month so it will be good for battery I heard from some owners is it true please give clarification on it

No. Who ever said that is incorrect.
You should never go all the way down to 2% (Unless it’s an urgency).
Try and charge at or above 20% SOC whenever possible.

Oh thanks for the response bro some owners whom them i knowere talking about it so I thought to ask first ast i follow 20 or 30-100 cycle everytime
Ather has engineered the 450/X very intelligently.
In the Ather 450X G2 :
The Battery size is 2.9 & usable is 2.6
That’s a buffer of over 10%
In the Ather 450 Plus G2:
The Battery size is 2.9 & usable is 2.23
That’s a buffer of over 23%
In Gen 3, it’s even Better;
The 450X G3 :
The Battery size is 3.7 & usable is 3.24
That’s a buffer of over 12%
The 450 Plus G3 :
The Battery size is 3.7 & usable is 2.6
That’s a buffer of over 29% 
PS. All the battery size mentioned above are given out officially in the Specification sheet and are in kWh.
So technically speaking, Ather has already taken care of extreme low charge & 100% charge, as that’s where the batteries are under extreme stress.
The 20-80-20 rule is just an additional safety margin over the buffer that we do.
So chill, and enjoy the wheeeee…

Wow! Such deep research 
I always had a doubt about this. Does our smartphone batteries also have any buffer like Ather?

Oops. I read it wrong. I do not have any idea about that. Maybe they don’t just to increase battery use and get people to switch or change batteries.

I guess so.
So an educated guess that I take is these MI Powerbanks have a Stated capacity of 20,000 mAh, but if you read the fine lines on their official product page the actual capacity (read as usable capacity) is technically around 13,000 mAh.
That’s a buffer of about 35%.
Considering an average cell phone user who invests in a power bank, would never follow the 20-80-20 rule, and neither is that expected by the manufacturer from such users.

Hey folks, new Ather owner here. I recently bought the Ather 450x 3.7 kwh variant. My daily commute is approx 100 km (50 km per trip). I usually charge it upto 100% using optimised charging 2.0 feature so that i get the full range and come back home from anywhere between 10% to 15% charge sometimes even 20% charge left daily. Range has stopped being a concern for me as it clearly has over delivered in this aspect. My concern however is of battery degradation. My charge pattern is 10-100-10 daily 5 days a week. Will this affect my battery life even with optimised charging? Ive already coverd 1000km at this rate ill cover 30000 in this year itself. Hopefully in future i may move closer to home but until then im forced to use the battery to its extremes.

I ride a Series 1 Ather 450x bought in 2021. My usage is between 64 kms to 70kms daily with 100% charge at night and top up to 100 % in morning to make up for the drop of 2 %. So far ao good. Ather has yet to give me the state of health of my battery.
